■EXTENDS you one and all a cordial and hearty invitation to calL We want to meet you face to face,
Ea and we have no pedlers. We had rather you would come in and see all the goods, meet our experi-
enced salespeople, who know their line, and then we positively assure you that we can save you

are satisfied.
Our business es good. We thank you. There are reasons why our trade is so much better for April,

out the house to meet the hard times. Another reason is that we handle nothing but the best, and back

MILLINERY'.—New snappy shapes, new flowers, all the late novelties. If you want your hat right, let
our milliners, build it for you. The price \riU be right, too.
